When PR Spin Can Improve Your Prospects at Work

Workplace competition is fierce therefore it’s imperative that we can all sell ourselves in the best possible and most productive way possible, and we need to be conscious that peer opinion can have both a positive and negative effect on our career development.

Mark Wilson, Managing Director of recruitment specialists Sharp Consultancy gives some advice on how we can improve our visibility in the workplace without alienating our colleagues.

“PR is often mis-represented by political spin doctors, but your own internal PR can have a tremendous effect on your career and improving your personal profile in the workplace has never been easier.

There are pitfalls to every PR campaign, but a simple approach is best to ensure you are able to achieve the career goals you have in mind.

Being able to communicate in a professional yet friendly way is imperative and team communication is more and more important in a world where e-mails are used instead of talking face to face. The danger of sending all your news and communications through a flurry of e-mails is that both the meaning and context can sometimes be mis-interpreted by some people."
